LONDON. April z. iThe KTNJC yefterday morning, after riding out on horteback in the Great Park, hunted with his harrier's foe the laft time this feafon- A party of the 16th Light Horfe marched Into Windier yefterday, from Hounflow Barracks, to relieve thofe-oo duty, ordered to Hampton Court. Orders are given from the Navy Board for the Royal Charlotte yacht, at Deptford, to be fitted up immediately for fervice. Mr.

DUNDAS gave an elegant dinner yefterday evening, at his houfe at Wimbledon his Royal Highnefs the Duke of YORK, the LORD ADVOCATB of SCOTLAND, Mr. A 3 ERCROMBIB and his new- married Lady, were invited to partake of the entertainment. Tt is generally believed that Mr. PITT will deftr making his LOAN till after the returns are made on the INCOME ACT, which mult be done on or before the loth inftant. He will then be better able to judge of the amount of the fum required for the fervices of the year, and will alfo be ible to judge, with tolerable nccuraq, what fums re neceilary for foreign fubfidies.

JOHN KOCKHAM FRERE, Efq. Member for Weft Looe, is appointed one of his Majefty's Under Secretaries of State for the Foreign Department, in the room of Mr. Canning. yefterday arrived a Mail from Donaghadee, by which we learn that the veflel which carried Mefv'rs. O'CONNOR'S and other prifoners Dublin, touched at Belfaft on the 25th ult.

and took on board fome more State from that Port. They are ail to be landed ar Greenock, and it appears from the Scotch Papers, received vefterday morning, that Metiengers are on their wayjo that place to receive them, and conduct them from to Fort George. If the difclofure of articles of the treaty cf Leoben has caufrd all tne wondeiful effects attributed to it at the Owt of Berlin, we do not know which inoft to pity or admire, the fagaciry of SYEYES, or the difappointment of Mr. GRENVILLE. The profound ignorance and overlight of the Court of Pruffia is alfo not a little extraordinary, for certainly, unlefs its eyes or its ear? ere hermetically clofed, ir muft have perceived how or otktr, that Mentz was delivered up to the French by collufion.

This important key to the Empire of Germany, as well as Ehrenbreitftein, was actually in the hands of the Republic at the time of this molt wonderful difcovery; and therefore it is difficult to underltand what effect the treaty could produce, which the execution of it bad failed to do and why SYEYES mould become fo formidable or be fo fag'acious in (hewing the KING that the capture of the two molt important fortrelfes of Germany had mot happened by accident.

LE TOURNEUR is drawn in the moit favourable point of view, as a plain lbidier and it is infinu- though apparently without intention, that he- was in general under the tutelage of CAF.NOT. REUBELL is the --hief in the Diplomatic Department of the Directorial Executive, as CAR NOT was of the military.

There is no doubt but if the City of Hamburgh was not protected by the King of PnufsiA, the Directory would gladly make this affair ferve as the pretext for laying it underTontributicn but under the prefent cireum- it is not likely the French would quarrel with his PRUSSIAN MAJESTY, on account of fuch a vagabond as NAPPER TANDY.

At the time of the arrival of BUONAPARTE in Egypt, the Paris Papers were filled with accounts of the valt treasures found in that country.

We had then only the General's public declarations to guide our opinion we mail now fee that his public and private profeliions differ very materially. Cairo, (7 Thermidor), July 28th. General BON APA RTE to Citizen JOSEPH BON A PARTE, Dsputy te the Council of Fi-ve Hundred, at Paris. You will fee in the public papers the relation of the battles, and of the conquelt of Egypt, which has been fufficiently difputed to add another leaf to the military glory of this army. Egypt is the richeft country in the world, in wnear, nee, and cattle.

Barbarifm is at its height. There is no money in the country (a) no, not efen to pay the troops. I think-of burg in France in months ''Take your mcafures fo that 1 may have a country feat at my arrival, either in the neighbourhood of Paris, or in Burgundy I reckon on pajjing the winter (a) Then ii no in thh country! It is Worthy of obtervation, that this fehtence was written the very day after Bonaparte ha-a in his official letters, to all Europe, that on th-j bodies of the 2000 Mamelucs, who Kil in trie battle of the Pyramids," his foldiers had found zo, livres in fpecie But this is not it appears from the next line that Egypt was expefted to furnifh money fer the troops. This is a precious cir -umftance, and affords ir.atter for deep reflection. Bonaparte left France, perhaps.

Without a finale day's pay for his army. The tlunder of iWaita, except a few ingots which were diftributed amongft the merchants of Alexandria, with a view of being fpeedily reci.umed, was on board the I'Orint, and with the expected trcalures of Cairo, ar the grand caravan, was, undoubtedly dtftined to fwell the private fortunes of the General and his confidants; while the troops were to be left as in Swabia, and Franconia, and Brabant, and Holland, and Italy, and Swiffeilaud, to fupport themfelves by welting from the inhabitants, who are thus, in mockery, "made free, and profperous, and happy," the miferable re- liques of the rapacity of the oftiteis, the agents of Government. The 26th Light Dragoons are at length embarked at Southampton, with zoo horfes, drafts for tfce izth Light Dragoons, now in tranfports are gone to Stokes Bay, wheve they will all rendezvous, and will fail with the £afl India convoys now at St. Helen's. Ir is rather extraordinary that the French Directory mould be fo anxious to go to war with the Tufcan Government, fince the latter was in every relpefl obedient to all the e.xa£!i ns demanded of it.

It is not a month Cwce that the GRAND DUKE paid a contribution to the French of 2 millions of ducats in fpecie. We ought not to think too feverely of the Paris Journalifts for the circumfpedtion they obferve in all their writings. Knowing the caution neceilary to be oblerved by gentlemen, who in the "freed of all pollibie Republics," wrote with the Cayenne Diligence' at the door, we ought always to be difpofed to make every reafonable allowance tor it. COALS were yefterday 60s. per chaldron in the I 67s.

The cotton, and fume otlur part of the cargo will, we fuppofe, be faved." About one o'clock on laft Wedncfday morning, the fchooner Hope, of 36 tons burthen, Chriftophcr Martin, mafter, laden with limeftone and 13are, having fprung a leak on her pafjage from Plymouth fo London, after many houts extreme labour at the pump'to lave her from finking, foundered about 3 leagu.s abrcaft of Beachey Head, a few minutes after the; crew, confining of 3 men and a boy, had taken to their boat, for the prefervatiou of their which, after much exertion, they providentially effected, by getting fafe to fhare about 7 in the nvnr.irg. The main deck of the vefT.1 was only a lew incins above the water when the crew emitted her and in launching the boat, which was a very iinail tlx- boy, about 13 years old, fon of the feil overboard, but by the nel, and hanging fa ft tiil his father coula aiiilt him, he was luppily faved. On Monday fome very vivid fhfh.es of lightning were fee.i around the metropolis and on Sa- in the Red Lion water-trough, at Paddington, ice was taken out 4 inches thick. IViiioughby was committed the other day by Alderman CABELL, at Guildhall, for conveying inltrumtnts to the capital convicts in Newgate, to afhTc them in "Raping. This plot was projected by Turt who robbed the Mint, and who was to be by all the other convicts under fentence of death.

SHIP NEWS. HARWICH, MARCH 3 I. By a neutral velfel from Hoiiaml, we learn there are a great many privjteers cruizing off that coait, and that there are in the Texel 20 mips of various defcriptions, from 10 to 60 guns. The Good Intent fifhing fmack, belonging to this place, has been captured in the North Sea, crew carried to Chriitianfand, in Norway, where feveral other mips are catried. There are a great many privateers cruizing upon the coaft of Norway.

PLYMOUTH, MARCH 30. The Lsrd Haivie privateer, of 16 guns, Captain PENDOCK NEALE, failed from Torbay on Wednef- day evening on a cruize off the coaft of Spain and- the Mediterranean. A iloop of of 18 guns, is juft arrived from the Eaftward. PORTSMOUTH, MARCH JI. Sailed the Fly floop of war, and Pigmy cutter, on a cruize.

Late on Friday evening the outward-bound Eaff India fhips, with their convoy, the Arethufa, attempted to get under weigh, to proceed on their voyage; but it coming on fuddenly a lirong gaie from the Eaff, wirh-a heavy fea, the grrateff part of them could not get their anchors; but the convoy, and one of the ihips which gor her anchor in, ffeod out to fea, and have not fince been heard of. The remainder, with the South-fea-men, except the Lord Thurlow, which loft an and run for the Motherbank, now remain riding extremely hard at St. Helen's.

The Welt York Militia arrived yefterday in this town, and will embark to-morrow for Ireland, except fuch of them as have refufed to go. Ext rail of a Letter from a Gentleman on board LA V1 ax 1 frigate, in Lord fuite, dated the I itk Auguft. A few days after we failed from the Cape of Good Hope, we aiicovered a large ihip in the fourh-eait quarter. Lord MORNING TON had been previoufly informed at the Cape, that Ifrong fuipicfons were entertained of the enemy being about thele feas, as 5 or 6 frigates had been fitted out from the Ifle of Bourbon, which had captured fome of our merchantmen.

On the morning of the 14th of June, at daylight, bur private fignals were anfwered, vl.ich at once removed our apprehensions. This fhip, which bad chaced us for four days, proved to be his Majesty's fhip Suffolk, of 74 guns, proceeding to Madras. Her failing was fo excellent, that I do not believe any vefi'el could poflibly efcape her, and it was entirely owing to the frequent miffs that our fignals were not underltood."

A few days ago a duel was fought in the South Inch, at Perth, between Lieutenant C. and Mr. F. wherein fix fhots were exchanged between the parties, but fortunately without bioodfhed.
